Prestigious and impressive Grade II Listed Regency house, in this popular North Cotswold market town

This charming Grade II Listed detached house dates back to the early part of the 19th Century and is arguably one of the finest properties in Moreton-in-Marsh

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

The Old Parsonage has been remodelled over the years, providing three floors of elegant and highly versatile accommodation

There are numerous period features such as 12 and 16 pane sash windows, flagstone floors, fireplaces, exposed timbers, window shutters and traditional wooden doors and architraves, with the family kitchen and numerous bathrooms finished to a high standard, with marble and classically style fittings

The highly flexible accommodation offers a good variety of reception rooms and guest bedrooms, particularly given the conversion of the original Coach House, which links to the main house seamlessly, creating an impressive overall space, not only for family living, but also for those with dependant relatives and working from home requirements

The property is approached over a large gravelled driveway

Entering the property via stone steps to the front door with fan light, the hall has a limestone floor with adjacent doors to the drawing room and sitting room, and steps leading down to the cellar

The cosy sitting room enjoys a triple-aspect, with French doors through to the delightful walled gardens, attractive fireplace incorporating a coal effect gas fire with decorative wooden surround, marble inserts and hearth and two oak ceiling beams

The drawing room is exceptionally striking with an imposing inglenook fireplace, part exposed stone walls, oak ceiling beams and a large south-facing bay window

The inner hallway with limestone flooring, also links the original house with the former Coach House, cloakroom and the stunning bespoke shaker-style family kitchen, complete with an inglenook with stone surround incorporating an AGA with two cast-iron ovens, large twin cast-iron hotplates allow you to boil and simmer and an additional integrated module with electric top, non-assisted electric fan oven with grill and fan oven below, walk-in pantry and an excellent selection of wall and base units, with granite work surfaces, built-in dishwasher, built-in fridge, bespoke handcrafted dresser unit, central island with part laminated/granite worktops, twin breakfast bar, and flagstone flooring throughout

At the end of the hallway is the stunning garden room with folding double Gothic-style French doors into the grounds, with exposed stone walls and exposed wooden flooring, which leads through to the open-plan family room with vaulted A-frame ceilings and a feature fireplace with wrought-iron surround

Accessed off the garden room, is a small courtyard, which leads onto Church Street, enabling the house to be split into two independent living spaces, if required

Also connecting to the garden room, is a study area with part-vaulted glazed ceiling, shower room, separate utility room with built-in fridge/freezer, and a fifth reception room/second study

Leading from the hall, the staircase rises to a half landing and the main family bathroom

To the first floor, the principal bedroom enjoys a dual-aspect with built-in wardrobe space, an independent dressing room with a good selection of wardrobe cupboards leading through to the en-suite shower room

From the landing there is a connecting staircase to the second floor, with two further double bedrooms, and an additional en-suite
